frannyp:Maisie hasn't turned out that bad, she's not vicious like Nathan. Lots of mums lead busy business lives, it's not as if she locked in cupboards or beat him when he was a kid.
Nathan seems to really enjoy power over Leyla, is this because he feels so powerless when faced with his parents?
You could perhaps explain his dislike of women if perhaps his father, or mother, had been caught cheating before when he was a child.
Please let us see Cain have another go at him.
